Lonicera 'Inov42' syn. Lonicera 'Caprilia Ever'
Honeysuckle 'Caprilia Ever'
Honeysuckles (Lonicera) are mostly hardy twining climbers, often grown for their fragrant display of summer flowers. Most are deciduous but some are evergreen. They are frequently grown for their ability to cover unsightly walls and outbuildings. The hardy climbing types need their roots in shade, and their flowering tops in sunlight or very light shade. This variety is a hybrid between Lonicera henryi and Lonicera japonica 'Aureoreticulata'. It is hardy and shows good persistence in winter. Light violet to pink buds open and reveal yellow-orange flowers. Some second flowering is noticeable in late summer.
